A stone’s throw from Kensington High Street, Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens and the amenities of Gloucester Road, Atlantic House is positioned perfectly for access to countless places to complement your studies, attractions and places to socialise and hang out. Kensington Tube Station is just five minutes walk away, or if you prefer a slightly longer walk to take in and enjoy the London scene, you’ll find Earl’s Court Tube Station just 15 minutes away.

The bedrooms at Atlantic House all have their own sinks, and bathrooms are communal. There are also free laundry facilities in the basement. Single rooms are usually allocated to resident assistants and graduating seniors.

LIke the main building on the Richmond campus, Atlantic House benefits from 24-hour security/reception, ensuring the building is safe and secure. Among its many facilities and benefits, you’ll find:

Other accommodation in Kensington:

Collingham Gardens is a beautiful, Grade II listed building residing in a quiet and highly desirable area of London. It has bags of character, which is something you can’t help but notice on your approach – as you walk up the Victorian tiled entrance.

Courtfield Gardens is literally just a couple of minutes’ walk from Collingham Gardens. It’s not managed by Richmond University, but by a friendly company called Studio Let, who own the building and look after it very well.

Ambassador House sits tall, bold and full of character at numbers 26 and 28 Queens Gate Terrace, approximately halfway down this row of beautiful, old buildings. Not far from this residence are world renowned museums such as the V&A, Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, so you will never be short of incredible places to visit.
